The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is one of Europe's leading open air art organizations. As part of a major fundraising initiative, the Walk of Art was conceived; a 110 metre pathway leading up to the new visitor centre designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Architects. Made from stainless steel, the path contains the names of all donors to the park - Alan Titchmarsh rubs shoulders with Liz Dawn. As the number of donors increases, so does the path grow.

Typography – Why Not Associates.
Implementation – Russell Coleman.
